Never had it that bad riding my bicycle!!
Friend of mine prepares a little food in a bag and just throws it on the ground, eventually they get used to you. I personally shout at the dog in a loud voice
The Guinness is just as good and cheaper. 150baht for fried rice!! They have seen you coming. If I want to be a cheap Charlie I can eat for 50 baht with toppings. Western food if you know where to go 170-250 baht, every bit has good as you can get back in blighty
I have half a ream of signed paperwork by the Tessabarn to say if my wife dies before me they can't kick me out of the house also the yearly tax on my house is my name solely on the property (not the land)
Rarely go to bars nowadays but if I do, I just say to lady would you like a drink or a 100 Baht to sit and talk to me for a while. Win, Win lady always says 100 baht. Two reasons for her money straight away and more money for her
